Citrus sinensis, a first in the World’s fruit production, is of a considerable economic
importance. A number of studies on health benefits associated with Citrus phytochemicals are
there. In this review pharmacological, antimicrobial, insecticidal and those of pure isolates and
crude extracts have been described.
